Easter Bunnies

Let me warn you, this story starts out sad. Last Saturday Juan and I decided to work on our neglected yard. I mowed our two foot high weed patch in the back yard along with the rest of the yard and then Juan went around weedwacking. Well, while Juan was weedwacking he found that we had a family of baby bunnies living in our yard. One had come out of the burrow and was hiding in a weed patch near our fence. Juan felt so bad when he found out, it was too late for that bunny, but he was extra careful the rest of the time and found another bunny near the fence and their burrow with two more bunnies in it. These bunnies were about the size of large hamsters, they were old enough to have their eyes open and be venturing out, but not old enough to run from us humans. The bunny in the first photo what the second one Juan found and he just sat there the whole time Juan was weedwacking the yard. When he was done, he came in and showed me and I took the kids out to look at the adorable bunny. He let us come right up to him and then Corbin bent down and picked him up, ack! I took him away and said we would put him back in his burrow with his brothers, but before we did I let Jovi hold him. She wanted a picture to commemorate the event.




Here is a picture of all of them in their burrow.


Sunday evening mama bunny came around. (Look hard, she blends well with the grass)


Monday morning we had an empty burrow. We think mama bunny moved her babies away from our prying eyes, but it was so cool to see our back yard bunny family for the two days we knew they were there.

On Friday, 3/26 we went to our first Easter egg hunt held by Frisco at Pizza Hut Park. It was ok, nothing special except they had "healthy" snacks for the 2 and under crowd like cereal and animal crackers instead of candy Corbin barely grabbed anything because he was looking for the candy.




Last night we went to our next Easter egg hunt. On Sunday, sitting next to our Sacrament Bulletin (which was on a chair in the chapel) was a flier for an egg hunt at a Frisco park. I was excited, what a fun ward activity, so fast forward to Friday. My parents come over, we go to the park and see all these people from 5th ward out there (we used to be part of 5th ward till it split and now are part of 7th ward). Well, maybe it was a stake activity? No, no it was the 5th ward's activity and we crashed it. I was so embarrassed. None of the few people who were our friends were there either so it was just a bunch of people we kind of knew, but there was no way to explain that to the kids who had been looking forward to an egg hunt all day. I don't think anyone cared, but it was very embarrassing.

Juan and my mom went with Jovi to hunt eggs in her age group and I went with my dad and Corbin to his egg hunt. He was SO funny. He would pick up an egg, open it, make sure there was candy in it and THEN put it in his basket. He did it for every egg he picked up and then after the hunt was over, he threw out the plastic eggs and just kept the candy in his basket. He was very sure about what he wanted.



Happy Easter everyone!
